    I emphatically love Hunter like no other place in this region, northeastern nassau county. The interior is equisite: warm, sophisticated using natural materials. The service is exceptional and sincere. The foods choices are to wonderful: a seeded bread with fresh butter, the chicory assorted lettuce salad, Duck l'orange, a cod with shellfish, moroccan lamb stew... every one a dream.

    To me, the most important element of dining out is the quality of the food. We dined as 4, having 2 apps, 4 mains (2 pastas) & 1 dessert. Everything was wonderful & plentiful. Would definitely recommend it & hope to get there again, even though my wife & I came from Long Beach.

    Great food and menu. Worth noting that although this place takes reservations, I’ve twice been the only person there. You place your order at the counter, so it’s not really a full service restaurant. For that, go to Stellina restaurant around the corner. But the food is great.
